Abstract: In recent years there has been a growing interest in metastasis directed radiotherapy (MDRT) in hormone-sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer. The role of MDRT in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients remains controversial. Our study retrospectively compared MDRT to standard of care (SOC) in oligometastatic/oligoprogressive CRPC patients staged by PSMA PET CT. Patients either received SOC or MDRT with continuation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Investigated endpoints contained biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), overall survival (OS) and freedom from second line therapy (FFSLT). In this retrospective monocenter study, all patients with PSMA PET between January 2014 and July 2018 were screened. 55 oligometastatic/oligoprogressive CRPC patients were identified and further analysed, 34 received MDRT and 21 SOC. Baseline characteristics were similarly distributed between groups. Kaplan-Meier estimates suggested a trend for improved bPFS (p = 0.10) and improved OS (p = 0.01) by MDRT. Additionally, FFSLT was significantly prolonged in MDRT patients (p = 0.006). Multivariate cox regression analyses revealed MDRT as the only parameter that was significantly associated with bPFS (hazard ratio 0.36, p = 0.048) and OS (hazard ratio 0.14, p = 0.006). No high-grade radiation induced toxicities were observed. In our study MDRT was a well-tolerated treatment option with low toxicity in oligometastatic/oligoprogressive CRPC patients, resulting in improved OS and freedom from second-line therapy and a potential improvement of bPFS compared to SOC.
